...civil engineering and real estate development sector in Norway. We have almost 100 members, varying from promising start-up companies to major entrepreneurs. Together we share knowledge and find new solutions on behalf of an entire industry. The construction, civil engineering and real estate development...
Microplastic (MP; 1-5000 µm) and nanoplastic (NP; <1 µm) particles observed in the natural environment are typically (i) irregular-shaped, (ii) partially degraded, (iii) a wide range of polymer types, (iv) a continuum of sizes, shapes and densities, and (v) a reservoir for complex mixtures of plastic-associated...
...ships are said to be an enabler for modal shift in Europe, they require a broader transformation of the transport and business ecosystems to be effective. That is, current logistics paradigms and rapid advancements in zero-emission road transport may inadvertently incentivise a shift away from waterborne...
...the major aging mechanism in wet-designed cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables causing a reduced lifetime. Several factors affect the initiation and growth of water trees. Without the presence of an electrical field, contaminants or moisture above a certain level, no water trees are observed. In addition...
...study, a novel simulation-based algorithm for CO2 ejector design and performance evaluation is presented. The algorithm is based on an automated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workflow that can account for different ejector geometries and operating conditions. The CFD data points are used to train a...
...for different particle sizes, particle conductivities, temperature gradients and for Reynolds numbers between 100 and 1600. This is the first such study performed using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), where all temporal and spatial scales of the fluid are resolved. Simulations are performed using the...
Increasing the impact of software engineering research in the software industry and the society at large has long been a concern of high priority for the software engineering community. The problem of two cultures, research conducted in a vacuum (disconnected from the real world), or misaligned time...
...condition monitoring and condition prognostics become necessary to avoid excessive operation and maintenance costs while ensuring reliable operation. Corrosion, and in particular uniform corrosion, is a leading cause of failure for Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) structures due to the harsh and highly corrosive...
